Pure love: A baby approached a golden retriever and gave it a big hug

Although they are larger dogs, retrievers have a rather gentle temperament and are not known for aggression. This is what makes them perfect pets for families with small children.

Social networks are flooded with videos showing friendships between retrievers and small children. Such is the case with this video, published on the social network Twitter, in which a small baby approaches its pet and hugs it tightly.

As you can see, the golden retriever is absolutely calm and does not mind a child's hug at all.

"Sometimes, all you need is a hug," reads the caption of the video, which has more than five million views.
